ABOUT BLETCHINGLEY PLAYERS / BADS

JUNIOR BADS - AS REMEMBERED BY MARIAN BUCK

In the1980’s we had a very keen group of youngsters in a panto (Possibly Jack & The Beanstalk in 1982) and so JUNIOR BADS was formed with, at one time, 23 Members.


JUNIOR BADS were entered with the play “The Island” by Michael Barwis in the S.E. Surrey Juniors Festival and they won a certificate.  This was kept by the Secretary of that time.
